Unlike most people the amount of studying, school and homework only changed slightly since year 10 - but did have access to revison guides and notes off this site as opposed to using my book from class.

SC:
English - 85
Mathematics - 84
Science - 91
Geography - 88
History - 81
Computing - 97

HSC:
Advanced English - 82
2 Unit Mathematics - 73 - Essentially gave up early on in year 12 though
Chemistry - 78
Physics - 80
Economics - 80
Software Design - 93

A friend of mine put in around the same effort i did, but was probably a bit lazier. Same subjects but he just did ancient instead of chem. Beat me overall in SC (but was pretty close) but he ended up getting mostly mid 70s in the hsc and an atar of about 75.

coool. haha dude what was your ATAR like?
Only got 94.75. :cry:

Standard. Lol. Top exam mark in the school with my other friend. Both of us didn't listen to our teacher all year and just complained how shit our school was for not letting us do advanced during class instead of working. He tried really hard and wrote essays a bazillion times and memorised them and everything, I did the bare minimum; homework and tests. So, I'm pretty happy.

The school certificate is meaningless. I know one guy who got 90 in science and 80's in his other subjects and he dropped out in year 11.

A guy in my class got like 94 for maths and high 80s in everything else and dropped out as soon as the exams were over. Now he's like dumb or something. :haha:

The SC doesn't mean anything at all. It's just a basic skills test which they've tried to make seem important.
